Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Methods: A total of 54 female and male adolescents (between the ages of 12 and 18) with a thoracic kyphosis (TK) angle of ≥ 50° were divided into two groups according to gender.
The kyphosis angle, dynamic postural performance, and forward head position were measured using a flexible ruler, Mathiass test, and occiput wall distance.

Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Methods: This observational cross-sectional study was conducted with 54 subjects. Subjects aged 12 to 18 years with a kyphosis angle of ≥50º and the children and their parents who agreed to participate in the study were included. Individuals with Scheurmann kyphosis, scoliosis (Cobb angle \>10°), and other congenital spine abnormalities were excluded.
The kyphosis angle was measured using a smartphone inclinometer. Dynamic posture was assessed using the Matthias test. Head position was obtained using occiput-wall distance.

Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
Female
Thoracic kyphosis (TK) angle of ≥ 50° The kyphosis angle, dynamic postural performance, forward head position
The kyphosis angle
The subject was positioned in a neutral standing position. the short side of the phone was placed on the T1-3 spinous process and the protractor was set to 0°. Subsequently, the phone was placed on the T12, and the angular value displayed on the screen was recorded as the kyphotic angle.
dynamic postural performance
The test measures spinal alignment deviations during static loading in the 90° shoulder flexion position. The test measurements are made in a standing position with arms 90° flexed, without weight, and after 30 seconds with weight.
forward head position
The individual stands with his heels and pelvis in contact with the wall. The severity of kyphosis is interpreted by measuring the distance between the occiput and the wall in cm with the head facing forward. The intensity of kyphosis is classified as mild (≤5 cm), moderate (5.1-8 cm) and severe (\>8 cm)
